But polarimetry, or measuring the rotation of plane-polarized light, can tell us a lot about about near and distant objects too, allowing astronomers to gain data on, for example, the size, shape, and ...

Bright, twisted light can be produced with technology similar to an Edison light bulb, researchers have shown. The finding adds nuance to fundamental physics while offering a new avenue for robotic ...

A Murdoch University researcher in Australia has determined that large-scale solar farms affect migratory routes of wildlife due to polarized light pollution, but this could be improved with ...
